I gather you did https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Game-failing-to-launch-on-Clicking-Play/m-p/4809830/highlight/true#M70795
paste your client_setting file here and provide a dxdiag per https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Technical/Guide-Posting-a-DxDiag/m-p/4832663/highlight/true#M70799
Yeah that thread is what i went off of at first.
this is my original client settings file:
[Renderer]
AntiAliasingLevel = 4
AtlasQuality = 0
Buckets = 5
D3DFullScreen = false
DYDDrawDistancePreset = 2
EnableSSAO = true
GraphicsDeviceId = 6918
GraphicsQuality = 5
Height = 1440
MeshLODQuality = 1
NativeHeight = 1440
NativeWidth = 2560
ShadowMapNumCascades = 8
ShadowMapResolution = 2048
SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 1.25
TextureAnisotropy = 16
Width = 2560
WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0
CodeVersionChanged = true
LastCodeVersionRun = 1
NewBucket = 5
[Game]
MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic
the second one that i got from somebody else is this:
[Renderer]
AntiAliasingLevel = 4
AtlasQuality = 0
Buckets = 5
D3DFullScreen = false
DYDDrawDistancePreset = 3
EnableSSAO = true
GraphicsDeviceId = 6918
GraphicsQuality = 6
Height = 1440
MeshLODQuality = 1
NativeHeight = 1440
NativeWidth = 2560
ShadowMapNumCascades = 8
ShadowMapResolution = 2048
SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 1.25
TextureAnisotropy = 16
Width = 2560
WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0
CodeVersionChanged = false
LastCodeVersionRun = 1
NewBucket = 5
EnableDistortion = true
RefreshRate = 165
VerticalSyncState = true
TextureQuality = 0
EnableBloom = true
doBlobShadows = true
AllowDepthOfField = true
doShadows = true
ShaderSet = 9
PlantDensity = 100
FullScreen = false
[Game]
MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic
also attached the dxdiag
dxdiag says swtor is crashing via P4: d3d9.dll which is the nvidia driver
why is the question now, ensure no game overlays are trying to load for now too
paste the below (which is following the directions in the link i provided) that is what you should try first not what you pasted
AntiAliasingLevel = 4
AtlasQuality = 0
Buckets = 5
D3DFullScreen = false
Fullscreen = false
RefreshRate = 60
DYDDrawDistancePreset = 2
EnableSSAO = true
GraphicsDeviceId = 6918
GraphicsQuality = 5
Height = 1440
MeshLODQuality = 1
NativeHeight = 1440
NativeWidth = 2560
ShadowMapNumCascades = 8
ShadowMapResolution = 2048
SpeedTreeDistanceScale = 1.25
TextureAnisotropy = 16
Width = 2560
WindowX = 0
WindowY = 0
CodeVersionChanged = true
LastCodeVersionRun = 1
NewBucket = 5
[Game]
MoviesFolder = ..\..\Movies
SwtorRegKey = SOFTWARE\BioWare\Star Wars - The Old Republic
I have steam overlay disabled in the settings. I pasted what you put into the settings.ini and still the same result.
My video drivers are up to date as well if that is any help.
i would use https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3576 to remove all trace of the current video driver and then do a clean install and see if it persists
